The news and the Republicans did not play up the connection. And BLM is apparently going to apologize for their part in the riot (one citizen killed by a rioter) following the shooting of an armed and non-compliant black man by a black police officer in Charlotte, North Carolina. <br /><br />Bernie Sanders would have won several states and would not have beaten Trump. But, the Democratic party would be better positioned for 2020.

I must of dreamt it. And for a minute I believed the fiction that Hillary has 2.4 million votes more than Trump and growing -- and also won 11 states with bigger margins than Obama. But of course it is not fiction that Trump really got more votes than Hillary because of so many illegal voters- but then again how dare Jill Stein call for a recount to find if people voted illegally.

Truth won out over lies this voting season on the race front. And the embrace and the lie will continue to haunt the dwindling Democratic constituency for years to come. Pelosi/Schumer/Ellison are not the sort to start to right the ship by first coming clean on the Trump/KKK lie and then denouncing BLM.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
